I doubt very much whether US citizens who wrestle pigs give any kind of a hoot about what a pile of Brits think
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

I had no idea this even went on. :rant:
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

The more I learn about things like this in the world the more I wonder how some of them can consider themselves as a modern, civillised and progressive nation. I know you can't 'tar all with the same brush', but it seems there are some that arn't happy unless theyr'e shooting each other or innocent schoolkids or members of the public or causing pain and distress to livestock. Obviously they havn't heard of the 5 freedoms for livestock.
I've signed, you gotta try........

Probably because they have nothing else to keep their minds occupied with. If a human being gets bored they start to cause mischief that's probably why there is so much crime in cities nowadays. You know what an animal is like when its bored it becomes mischievous.
